The initial setup of Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is easy and basic, especially if one doesn't use the tricks to get Oracle Exadata for use. One doesn't need to know or be involved in technical stuff to do the setup since, at the least, knowledge might be required when working with some external connections, but it is easy because everything can be done within a couple of clicks. The solution is deployed on the cloud. For deployment, you don't need any technical guidance since you can sit, find it on the web, and prepare an Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse platform by yourself for free for a limited time. The people needed for the deployment and maintenance depend on the implementation one wants. If you do a simple implementation, you don't need anybody for maintenance since everything is on the cloud. You only have to schedule your backup or see if Oracle can schedule a backup, and you don't take care of the backup. For some more sophisticated or technical implementations, you will need staff for some data warehouse except for some parts of the maintenance like backup, patches, or upgrades since these are a few things you take care of in the background, and you only seek help with the maintenance part, if needed.

The initial setup is complex. It is not a simple product, so it is complex. The number of people required to maintain the solution depends on the database size. Also, it depends on the number. There is no formula stating that if I have two databases, then two people are needed. In short, it is very much dependent upon where it is being used.

Valuable Features

"The product has self-repair features."
"The solution has a self-backup, so you don't need a DBA (database administrator) to do a backup."
"With Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, things are much simpler. Creating a structure, initializing the servers, extending the servers, those are all things that are very, very easy. That's the main reason we use it."

Room for Improvement

"The setup is complex."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is not available as an on-premises solution."
"My main suggestion for Oracle is the configuration and key values that come for JSON files. When we create a table, especially if you see in our RedShift or some other stuff, if I create a table on top of a JSON file with multiple array columns or superset columns, those column values create some difficulty in Oracle."

ROI

Pricing

Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse pricing is perceived as flexible, with users benefiting from pay-as-you-go and Oracle Universal Credits, allowing costs to be optimized by managing CPU uptime. Many take advantage of Oracle's free cloud service for initial trials, while licensing can vary based on hardware size and storage preferences, including hybrid setups. Although some find the cost high, it is considered justified by the product's superior capabilities and offers opportunities for cost reduction through existing Oracle licenses.

"The solution is expensive."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors."
"In terms of architecture and pricing structure, I feel it is a little bit costly compared to Azure. It's fine compared to RedShift, but compared to Azure, it's a bit pricey when you calculate for one TB storage plus around five hours of reporting with the frequency of 1TB data. The cost adds up, making Oracle a bit expensive."

Popular Use Cases

Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is primarily used for analytics and data management, aiding financial institutions, universities, and consulting firms. It integrates with tools like Oracle Analytics Cloud, Power BI, and supports data migration from platforms like Amazon Redshift. It serves essential functions in sectors like finance, procurement, manufacturing, and student management. Its ease of maintenance, cost-efficiency, and ability to handle large-scale, complex analytical tasks make it a preferred choice.
